To the outsider, a po’boy is nothing more than a grinder, a hoagie, a sub, or any other name for sandwich known around the country, but Louisianians know the difference. That fresh French bread (Leidenheimer bread for the purists), dressed to perfection and piled sky-high with your choice of protein… it just hits differently than a sub/grinder. Of course, Louisiana is the king of the po’boy, and if you’re looking for a good shrimp po’boy, you’ll find it at Rocco’s, a casual little restaurant in Louisiana with one of the best shrimp po’boys in the state.
Welcome to Rocco's, a casual po'boy shop located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Locally owned and operated, this family-friendly eatery is a neighborhood favorite for hungry patrons looking to sink their teeth into a tasty po'boy or two.
NOLA native Troy "Rocco" Moreau grew up in New Orleans before going to LSU for college, where he had trouble finding a decent po'boy in the city. When he couldn't find anywhere that made a po'boy to his liking, he decided to open up his own restaurant where he could bring a little New Orleans to Baton Rouge.

The menu is full of Louisiana comfort food, including fried seafood platters, muffulettas, and gumbo.
For more information, be sure to check out the restaurant’s website, and don’t forget to give them a follow on Facebook so you never miss any of their latest creations or specials. Have you ever dined at Rocco’s? Share your experience with us in the comments!
